Lifelong list of goals

(this is an ongoing list and will surely be changed and rearranged many times)

The academic portion:

1. Finish my degree (starting it would be good as well)2. Take a first aid course3. Read 150 (more) titles off of the 1001 Books To Read Before You Die (this with the 103 I already have will mean a quarter of the list done, I'm happy with that.3a. Of these titles, finish all of Charles Dickens' works (because I've always wanted to)(and because I'm a huge dork)

The sporty portion:

4. Visit the London Olympics in 20125. See Wimbledon6. Run a marathon

Above and below:

7. Learn how to SCUBA dive8. Go up in a hot air balloon9. Skydive!

Disneyification:

10. See The Lion King in the West End11. Take the boys to Disneyland/DisneyWorld/Disneyland Resort Paris

All about the food:

12. Eat at a ridiculously fancy restaurant, even if it means leaving still hungry (and be dressed appropriately)13. Grow my own vegetables

I'm sure there's more, smaller things like seeing Crufts and larger things like finishing a novel, but I'll work on it another time. I'm trying to make this a list of things I actually will accomplish regardless of income or whatever, which is why the travelling is restricted to a small number.

What a great list! I saw Lion King in NYC a few years ago and it is fabulous. I would love to learn how to SCUBA (really expensive!!). And go you and the marathon! I really admire anyone who can do that...I can barely run 2 miles without huffing and puffing!

I've been running my book blog, Fluttering Butterflies, for the past (nearly) 9 years and have recently taken up booktubing on my own channel, cloveryness, as well as collaboratively with the Bookish Brits.
